(AP Photo/Andy Wong) | ASSOCIATED PRESS reddit ADVERTISEMENT The beginning of the year offers many opportunities for astrology lovers to indulge, with everything from year-long horoscope forecasts predicting love and finances to resolutions tailor-made for your sign . But as the Lunar New Year celebrates the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Horse in 2014, there's a whole group of zodiac animals offering an entirely new take on what the stars might be forecasting for you this year. "Chinese horoscopes are based on the birth years of individuals," explains Paul Ng, a professional feng shui master based in Toronto who also gives personal life readings.

Feng shui and the Chinese zodiac both have roots in the I Ching, the ancient Chinese text that helps people determine lucky dates, among other predictions. Each year, Ng analyzes how the Chinese zodiac will affect everything from the global political climate to what the world's health will look like in the coming months. And most importantly, he tells us how our birth sign will affect us in 2014. Take a look at Ng's predictions for 2014, the Chinese year of the wooden horse. Don't know your Chinese zodiac sign? Use this tool to find it — and read below to see what it will mean this year. Close Current Slide Horse: Born in 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942, 1930, 1918 The year of the horse means there is leadership associated with this sign this year, so your authority may increase, according to Ng. However, the impulsive behaviour of the horse can lead to recklessness, so stay away from gambling and speculations.

Work: Those in positions of authority will do well, but chancy businesses, like the stock market, are a bad idea. Wealth: Don't expect to make a lot money, and value the income you have. Relationships: There won't be a lot of excitement in your love life, and if you are engaged, you might want to delay your marriage until next year. Health: Watch your health this year — you'll get tired and can catch bugs easily. Make exercise and rest a priority. Sheep or Goat: Born in 2003, 1991, 1979 ,1967, 1955, 1943, 1931, 1919 This is a "connecting" year for you, says Ng. Take advantage of your good relationships with other people, particularly for male sheep. Work: Those who work in cars, analysis, public relations, entertainment, surgery, butchery and police work should expect to do well this year. Wealth: Expect stability, with a slight increase in money this year. Simplify your investment portfolio, advises Ng.

Relationships: You'll be quite beloved this year, so watch out for love triangles. If you're married, make sure to demonstrate love toward your spouse. Health: You are healthier this year than last, but be careful of small accidents. Drive carefully and take your time when working. Monkey: Born in 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, 1932, 1920 It's important for the monkey to spread themselves around in order to gain success this year, says Ng, either travelling or moving. Work: Industries that are good for the monkey to work in include sales and marketing, law, education, travel and the financial world — things based around movement. Wealth: Money is looking good for monkeys, with the potential for promotions and investments reaping rewards. Relationships: If you're single, this won't be a great year for you, but those who are married can feel confident in the endurance of their union. Health: Your overall health is good. Be careful of accidents such as from driving.

Rooster: Born in 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945, 1933, 1921 This is gearing up to be a big year for roosters, according to Ng. There are many opportunities for your work or business, but your personal relationships might be volatile. Rely on your friends for help. Work: You do better outside an office than inside, in jobs like police work, the law and politics. Wealth: Be careful with your money this year — don't gamble. Relationships: There's a lot of love headed your way, but watch out for fights in your relationships. Take a step before continuing to argue, or they could end. Health: Small accidents could be an issue for you, and pay attention to your heart and lungs. Dog: Born in 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934, 1922 This should be a lucky year for dogs, notes Ng.

Everything from work and investments to relationships are on the upswing. Work: Work within your natural creativity in the arts, music, architecture or writing. Even the stage is great for you. Wealth: Use instincts, rather than logic, when making investments — it will help keep your money stable. Relationships: Consider proposing if you haven't already, and if you are married, demonstrate more love toward your spouse. Be humble when interacting with others. Health: Enjoy your good health, but watch out for overeating. Boar or Pig: Born in 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1959, 1947, 1935, 1923 Get ready for a great year, says Ng — you'll make friends, have breakthroughs in business and be surrounded by help. However, this all will need some effort at the beginning. Work: Great industries for you include metaphysics, religion, public relations, human resources, media and politics. Wealth: Money will be stable for you this year, but don't gamble or invest in speculative markets.

Relationships: Nothing exciting, but nothing bad here either, as your relationships stay flat but stable. Health: You will feel much better than last year, and even if you get sick, you'll recover quickly. Rat: Born in 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936, 1924 The rat is in opposition this year, so this could mean losing some money this year. However, the rat sign is generally lucky, which can help keep you out of trouble. Work: Show business is great for you, including things like pageants and the arts. Be sure to stay away from gambling. Wealth: Ng holds to the old saying, "If you are not greedy, you will not lose money." Relationships: Try to be quiet and patient this year, as otherwise, many of your relationships will consist of arguing. Health: Areas of the body to watch for include the lungs, kidney and waist. Get lots of exercise and rest.

Ox: Born in 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, 1937, 1925 The ox is in conflict with the horse, which could mean arguments with other people this year, says Ng. However, the ox is a sign of authority, potentially signifying promotions. Work: Good environments include politics, the army or police work, where a promotion might be waiting for you. But watch out for enemies. Wealth: Don't expect a lot of money, but your income is proportional to your authority level. Relationships: There isn't a lot of romance expected for you this year. Be patient with the people in your life. Health: Your health is fine, just watch out for small accidents. Tiger: Born in 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, 1938, 1926 This should be a good year for tigers, according to Ng.

It could bring luck, joy, romance, spirituality and learning opportunities. Work: You do well in business that have to do with blood, such as surgery and the army, as well as teaching and philosophy. If you are self-employed, expand your business. Wealth: This should be a year of stability for your money. Relationships: Romance is in the stars. If the opportunity is there, consider marriage. If you're married, watch out for temptations from extramarital affairs. Health: Watch out for sharp objects, and be careful of accidents and bleeding. Rabbit: Born 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, 1927 This will be a year of romance and controversy, with lots of happiness everywhere for rabbits. Just be careful about your non-romantic relationships with others. Work: Entertainment, speaking and sales roles all suit you — mental work is better for you than physical. Wealth: This year, the more you work, the more you make. Relationships: Romantic entanglements await, but watch out for love triangles.

Health: There's a mild concern about sharp objects. Dragon: Born in 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940, 1928 This should be a good year for dragons, as horses and dragons together have great energy. Health and wealth abound. Work: Working with both blood (surgery, butchery, soldiers) as well as spirituality (philosopher, priest) are in your favour. Wealth: You would do well in travel or trading businesses. Invest based on your intuition. Relationships: It does not look like a particularly romantic year for dragons. Health: You have a general tendency to get into accidents, but other than that, you'll be very health. Snake: Born in 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, 1929 Last year was a year of conflict for the snake, says Ng, so this year is a money year.

Work: Keeping in line with your money year, businesses that are good for you include finance and the stock market. Entertainment can also work for you. Wealth: Bring in the dollars! Both your regular and speculative incomes are looking good. Relationships: Think about marriage, if you haven't already. And be sure to express love toward your spouse if you're already hitched. Health: Keep your immune system boosted, as you'll be prone to colds and the flu. Exercise and rest plenty. Like this article?

More Accurate Prediction in 2014 Chinese Five Element Astrology Since the prediction of Chinese Zodiac is based on Chinese constellations , which are different from modern constellations, many positions of stars today have moved far away from Chinese ancient time's positions. That means some predictions on some stars are losing accuracy. Around Tang Dynasty (618 A.D.), Chinese astrology moved the center point of the sky to the Sun to develop new prediction system without using any distant stars.

Since that time, the Chinese astrology prediction began to use the zodiac sign of people's Birth DAY to represent the person. (Chinese use same Chinese character for day and sun.) This chance made a breakthrough into a higher prediction accuracy. More than 2000 years later, today Chinese professional astrologers keep using the same theory to tell people's fortune.

Pig Chinese Astrology - Animal Sign: Horse 12 Feb 2002 - 31 Jan 2003 (Water) 2014 31 Jan 2014 - 18 Feb 2015 (Wood) Horse people are active and energetic. They got plenty of sex-appeal and know how to dress. Horses love to be in the crowd, maybe that is why they can usually be seen in such occasions like concerts, theaters, meetings, sporting occasions, and of course, parties. The horse is very quick-witted and is right in there with you before you have had the chance to finish what you are saying: he's on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it. In general, the Horse is gifted. But in truth they are really more cunning than intelligent - and they know that. That is probably why, most of the horse people lack confidence.

Chinese believe that because horses are born to race or travel, all Horse people invariably leave home young. The Horse despises being pressured to act for the good of the group or made to feel guilty. No matter how integrated they seem to be, a Horse's inner self remains powerfully rebellious. Although they have boundless energy and ambition, Horses have a hard time belonging. The Horse is hot-blooded, hot-headed and impatient. Horse people are a bit of an egoist, well, selfish sometimes, that it is rare for them to interest themselves in any problems except their own. And though this egoist works only for themselves and for their own success, their work nevertheless benefits everybody. The Horse is a worker, adepts at handling money and a good financier. But unfortunately, they are also famous for suddenly losing interest on something. In their relationship with the opposite sex, the Horse is weak. They will give up everything for love. Being born a Horse, there are many contradictions in their character. Horses are proud yet sweet-natured, arrogant yet oddly modest in their approach to love, envious but tolerant, conceited yet humble. They want to belong, yet they are burdened by their need for independence.

They need love and crave intimacy yet often feel cornered, pressured. But the truth is, the Horse is an individual, who depends only on their own wits and labour to get what they want.

The horse is part of a 12-year-cycle of animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. These interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. 2014 is the year of the wood horse, taking over from the year of the water snake. GET READY TO RUMBLE It will be a fast year full of conflicts according to some astrologers, who see wood as providing fuel for the energetic horse sign.

The later part of the year is “yin fire”, increasing the potential for heated clashes even more. Feng shui practitioner Raymond Lo told Reuters: “The upcoming Horse year is also a 'yang wood' year, when people will stick more to their principles and stand firm. So it is hard to negotiate or compromise as there are more tendencies for people to fight for their ideals.” BAD FOR BUSINESS? If you have a business involving wood or fire you will do well, according to Canadian Feng Shui expert Paul Ng . This includes lumber companies, agriculture and media companies. Property companies won’t do as well and as the horse is a galloper, the potential is for the prices to gallop downwards over the first six months. However, supported by the fire element in the latter half of the year they may gallop back up, according to Lynn Yap, Singapore’s Feng Shui Queen . Metals and waters will do badly: this will affect metal mining and precious metals as well as fishing. Financial business also have the potential to be unstable. We could have predicted that one though.

WATCH OUT FOR VOLCANOES Countries in the Southern Hemisphere, like South Australia and South America may experience gunfire as well as volcanoes, because “ the fire energies are so strong” according to Chinese astrologer and Sydney Feng Shui master Lok Tin , who spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald about his predictions for the coming 12 months. LIE LOW IF YOU’RE A HORSE. When horse meets horse, the natural Ying-Yang opposition is no longer balanced and thus over the next year horses are due some tense situations and pressure in their personal life. However Foon Chik, of the Feng Shui Society says it is not that simple and meeting your own sign can be a time for self-reflection. WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT A HORSE? Well, what animal you are depends on what year you were born in and how the characteristics of this creature interact with the horse.

Read more on How to be Lucky in Your Zodiac Year . Chinese Zodiac Years Have Two Different Starts! There are two dates a Chinese zodiac year could be said to start on, and neither is January 1! China traditionally uses two calendars: the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. The traditional solar calendar has 24 fifteen-day solar terms, and the first, called ‘Start of Spring’, falls on February 4 (or 5). The lunar calendar has 12 or 13 months and starts on Chinese New Year, which is somewhere in the period January 21 to February 20.

Most Chinese people use lunar New Year as the start of the zodiac year. But for fortune telling and astrology, people believe ‘Start of Spring’ is the beginning of the zodiac year. Chinese Zodiac Origins — Why 12 Animals The 12 animals were chosen deliberately, after many revisions. The zodiac animals are either closely related to ancient Chinese people’s daily lives, or have lucky meanings. The ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig, and dog are six of the main domestic animals raised by Chinese people. The other six animals: rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, and monkey are all loved by the Chinese people. Why the 12 Zodiac Animals Are in That Order The 12 Chinese Zodiac animals are in a fixed order according to Chinese Yin and Yang Theory and perceived attributes. The yin or the yang of the animals is defined based on the odd or even number of their claws (or toes, hoofs). The animals are then arranged in an alternating (complementary) yin-yang sequence. Usually an animal has is the same number of claws on its front and rear legs. However the rat has four toes on its fore legs and five on its hind legs.

As the old saying goes, “a thing is valued in proportion to its rarity”, so the Rat ranks first of the 12 zodiac animals. It uniquely combines the attributes of odd (yang) and even (yin). 4+5=9, and yang is dominant, so the Rat is classified as odd (yang) overall. Zodiac Animal Amiability without fidelity leads to immorality. Chinese Zodiac Hours — Each Hour is Associated with a Zodiac Animal Chinese zodiac hours It is widely known that each year is associated with a Chinese zodiac animal, but in Chinese culture the 12 zodiac animals are also associated with hours of a day. In ancient times, in order to tell the time, people divided a day into twelve 2-hour periods, and designated an animal to represent each period, according to each animal’s “special time”. According to Chinese astrology, though not popularly used, a person’s personality and life is more decided by his/her birth hour than year. The zodiac hour is widely used for character and destiny analysis. Rat
